Out of nowhere, when I open a project or create a new project in premire pro I can not see what I am doing.  The windows are all off screen somwhere. When I start up the program -the menus appear in strange, off-center positions on my screen-this has never happened before. Please help!

I solved this problem by changing my screen resolution settings to low resolution (big horsey icons and everything), which brought back the window, then I changed it back to the normal (non-horsey) resolution and it was fixed.  I hope this works for you guys!

In case you're not aware, you can move your windows around the screen, resize them, and in general configure the screen to suit your working style then save this arrangement (in CS5 - Window>Workspace>New Workspace - give it a name, ok). You recall this arrangeent by going back to the Window>Workspace and select it, or choose one of the defaults. Or, open the little Workspace window (top upper right of main screen) and pick an arrangement.

Of course, you can create several custom workspaces to suit your specific task on hand.

    Alternatively, you might just be able to go to the "Windows" menu and hit "Reset Current Workspace".

    By chance, have you connected or disconnected an external monitor lately?

        I had this same problem just now. For no reason whatsoever, the graphics panel just completely turns up blank. Restarting and resetting didn't help. I'm going through all the possible windows one by one but the sequence itself is just not showing up so I can't work on any graphics. I did not make any changes, no added external monitors or changes to the workspace, no significant changes to any files involved.

        Sirje: Does resetting the layout (Window > Workspaces > Reset to Saved Layout) fix your blank Graphics panel problem? If not, what about following the steps I outline in this thread (scroll down to find my 6/30/17 post): How do I reset Premiere Pro CC windows to default settings ?
